Another lovely image, Sid. The colour of the the bill really stands out well against the black and white. Quite a "swan-like" pose. I'm wondering how this would look with the linear burn trick to bring up some more detail in the whites.

Nice composition Sid, I like the reflection in the water and the overal B/W look of the image with only a touch of color in the bill and bare parts of the face.

Another great image from Gatorland. Many, many opportunities!!

Great capture with nice contrast.

Sid,

Reminds me of Steven Speilberg's Schindler's list movie. The red cap on the boy's head in a black and white scene had made everybody sit up and take notice. That has been copied in countless movies. The touch of colour in the beak reminded me of that scene. Lovely work.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Spectacular pose. Love the black bg.

[Doug Brown]

It's a lovely photo and pose. I'm with Tony on wanting to see a bit more detail in the whites.

Superb shot. Love the pose. I'm gonna start showing up if these kind of images are available already.
